The Mystery of His Coming as a Thief in the Night

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of spiritual fellowship with you around the Divine Program pertaining to this end time.

For this reason, I want to read in Revelation chapter 16, verse 15, where it tells us the following:

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.”

Let’s also read in First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 1 to 3, where it says:

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.”

May God bless our souls with His Word, and allow us to understand It.

Tonight, our subject is: “THE MYSTERY OF HIS COMING AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.”

The mystery of His Coming is the greatest mystery, and not even the Heavens knew about this mystery; for Jesus Christ said, referring to the Coming of the Son of man, that not even the angels of heaven knew the day and hour.¹

Now, He told us what the time of His Coming would be like. He tells us in Saint Matthew and in Saint Luke and in Saint Mark about the time of His Coming,² and He shows us the things that will be happening in the Divine Program so that we can understand the time of His Coming, and not be ignorant of the things that God would be doing (like the world, which lives in darkness and gross darkness).

But Paul tells us that we are not children of the night, nor children of darkness, that that day (the Day of His Coming and the hour of His Coming) should overtake us as a thief in the night. But for the world it will be nighttime, spiritually speaking; because the world will be in spiritual darkness.

The Prophet Isaiah, in chapter 60, tells us:

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”

That is the Second Coming of Christ at the Last Day, rising upon God’s elect. And the Second Coming of Christ to God’s elect, to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, is as the Sun of Righteousness shining, it’s as the Sun rising, like the Prophet Malachi tells us in chapter 4:

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.”

Now, notice how the Coming of the Lord, the Coming of the Son of man, to the world, is at nighttime, as a thief in the night; but to God’s elect It’s as the Sun of Righteousness shining at the Last Day, on the Lord’s Day.

Now, to be able to understand this mystery, which is the greatest mystery, which was not known neither in Heaven nor on Earth, at the Last Day, this mystery will be fulfilled, and God’s elect will be seeing the Coming of the Lord.

Now, it says:

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come…”

Jesus Christ said: “I am the Light of the world; and he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.”³

He is the Light of the world and of each one of us, in His First Coming and also in His Second Coming.

And the glory of the Lord was manifested in the First Coming of Christ and is promised to be manifested in the Second Coming of Christ; for the promise is that the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with His Angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works. Saint Matthew chapter 16, verses 27 to 28.

And then He took Peter, James, and John, (in chapter 17 of Saint Matthew), He brought them up into a high mountain apart; and He was transfigured before them, and His face shone as the sun.

There Christ is showing us the Coming of the Son of man in His Kingdom with His Angel, for Moses and Elijah appeared there talking with Jesus.

Because the Angels of the Coming of the Son of man are Moses and Elijah, they are the Two Olive Trees of Revelation chapter 11, and Zechariah chapter 4; the Two Olive Trees, which are the Two Anointed Ones that stand before the Presence of God, whom Jesus Christ speaks about in the parable of the wheat and tares, as the Angels that the Son of man sends for the Harvest time, for the gathering of the wheat, so that it is put in God’s Garner, and the tares are cast into the furnace of fire and burned.⁴

The tares represent the children of the wicked one, and the wheat represents the children of the Kingdom, meaning, the children of God. The children of the wicked one will be burned, as Jesus Christ says; and this will happen during the Great Tribulation, where atomic fire will be unleashed, and every type of fire will be unleashed due to the atomic fire that will unleash and burn the wicked.

And now, notice how also the Prophet Malachi spoke of this day that shall burn; and he says in chapter 4, verse 1:

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”

This is what is prophesied to take place at the Last Day, at the end time, at the time when the world will be living in darkness and gross darkness, because they will be living at nighttime, spiritual nighttime. This time in which we live is spiritual nighttime for mankind.

That is why it says: “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth…” Isaiah says in chapter 60, verse 2:

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee,” (referring to the elect, the members of the mystical Body of Christ).

In other words, “the Sun of Righteousness shall rise upon you,” the Lord, the Sun of Righteousness: Jesus Christ in His Second Coming, shall rise.

The Second Coming of Christ is the Coming of the Sun of Righteousness shining on a new dispensational Day, on the morning of a new dispensational Day; for the sun rises in the morning. “And unto you that fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise,” (God says through the Prophet Malachi in chapter 4), “with healing in His Wings.”

Now, the literal sun doesn’t have literal wings, what it has are rays of light that shine upon mankind.

And the Sun of Righteousness, which is Jesus Christ in His Second Coming, doesn’t have literal wings, what He has are His Angels: the ministries of Moses and Elijah, one on each side, as they were seen on Mount Transfiguration. Those are the Wings of the Sun of Righteousness; they are the ministries of His Angels, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, which is for the salvation of all the sons and daughters of God; because Jesus Christ said in Saint Matthew 24, verse 31:

“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect.”

That is the reason for the ministry of His Angels at the Last Day, at this time in which we are living: for the call of the Great Sound of a Trumpet of God’s elect, through the ministries of Moses and Elijah, through the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of the Angels of the Son of man, sent for this great Harvest that will be carried at the Last Day.

That is why Christ speaks to us in Saint Matthew chapter 24, and Saint Mark chapter 13, about the Coming of the Son of man in the clouds, clothed with a cloud or coming in the clouds of heaven. And it says that He will send His Angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet. What for? To gather together His elect at the Last Day.

His elect are the last members of the mystical Body of Christ that will be called, gathered, and put in the mystical Body of Christ at the Last Day; and prepared to be changed and raptured at this Last Day and taken to Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Without the ministries of the Angels of the Son of man, there is no gathering of God’s elect at the Last Day, nor any preparation to be changed and raptured at this end time. Through these ministries of the Angels of the Son of man, Jesus Christ will be gathering all of His elect.

To the world, this time or day in which all of this will be happening is at nighttime; but to God’s sons and daughters it will be daytime; because it will be on a new dispensational Day and on a new millennial Day; “for one day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”⁵ One day before God is a millennium to human beings, in other words, a thousand years; and a thousand years of our [time] is only one day to God.

And now, notice that Saint Paul, in First Thessalonians chapter 5, spoke to us about the Day of the Lord, which will come as a thief in the night.

Saint John the Apostle had been on the Lord’s Day, in this Apocalyptic vision; and let’s see what he saw and heard on the Lord’s Day. He was transported to the Lord’s Day. Revelation chapter 1, verses 10 to 11, says… John the Apostle says:

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day…”

Saint John went to which day? To the Lord’s Day; he went in the Spirit; he was transported in his theophanic body, in his theophanic spirit, to the Lord’s Day, which for him was in the future. And he says:

“…And heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet…”

What did John hear on the Lord’s Day? A Great Voice, as of a trumpet. And this is what God’s sons and daughters will be hearing on the Lord’s Day, which will come to the human race as a thief in the night.

Saint John the Apostle says:

“…And heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”

This Great Voice of Trumpet is whose Voice? It is the Voice of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ on the Lord’s Day, it is the Voice of our Lord Jesus Christ speaking to all His children on the Lord’s Day.

Now, let’s see which is the Lord’s Day, which Jesus Christ also spoke of. Jesus Christ spoke in Saint John chapter 6, verse 39 and on… because this Day of the Lord is very important in the Divine Program. Let’s see some of the things that will happen on the Lord’s Day; one of them is the Coming of the Son of man.

In Saint John chapter 6, verses 39 to 40, Jesus Christ says:

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Which is the Last Day? In order to understand which is the Last Day, we need to understand which are the Last Days.

At the Last Day, Jesus Christ says that He will raise up His believers who have departed from this earthly body, meaning that their physical bodies have died, and those people are in Paradise living in their theophanic bodies.

Now, let’s see what the Scripture teaches us. Saint Peter, Second Peter, chapter 3, verses 8 to 10, tells us the following… And I want to read that passage so that we have a clear picture of the things Saint Peter speaks about, which Jesus also spoke of. He says something here that we cannot be ignorant of. He says:

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,” (it will come as a thief in the night), “in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

Here we can see what is coming to mankind. And it goes on to say:

“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”

Now, notice that when it speaks to us about the Lord’s Day, it is a millennium to human beings.

And now, let’s see what the Last Days are.

Saint Paul the Apostle spoke to us about the Last Days in his Letter to the Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 1 to 2, and he said:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son…”

In which days does Saint Paul say that God has spoken to us by the Son Jesus Christ? Saint Paul says “in these last days,” and they were the days of Jesus Christ and the apostles; and two thousand years have already passed, and we are still living at the Last Days, because the Last Days before God are three millenniums to human beings, and the Last Days began in the time of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why it says that “God has spoken in these Last Days by Jesus Christ,” and two thousand years have already passed, and we are still in the Last Days.

We also have the passage of the Book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 14 and on: this was on the day of Pentecost, when one hundred and twenty people in the upper room received the Spirit of Jesus Christ; they spoke the wonderful works of God in new tongues. And the people who were in Jerusalem worshiping God, who had come from different nations, but who were Hebrews, but many of which had been raised in different nations where they had also been born, and spoke the languages of their nations, when they heard these hundred and twenty believers in Christ speak the wonderful works of God in the language of these other people, they asked themselves: “Aren’t all these which speak Galileans? How can we hear them speak the wonderful works of God in our own tongue, wherein we were born?”

And others, mocking (because there are always mockers when God is fulfilling His promise), said: “They are full of new wine,” in other words, “they are drunk.”

But that moment and what was happening there had a Biblical answer, which Saint Peter was going to give them: Chapter 2, verse 14 and on (of the Book of Acts), says:

“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.”

In other words, 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning, that is the third hour of the day. The first hour is 6:00 to 7:00 in the morning, the second hour is 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning, and the third hour is 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning. Those three hours form the fourth watch.

Saint Peter goes on to say:

“But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”

Saint Peter says, quoting the prophecies of Joel, that in the Last Days God had promised to pour out of His Holy Spirit upon all flesh; upon all flesh that believed in Jesus Christ, God was there pouring out of His Holy Spirit, and the new birth was being brought forth in one hundred and twenty people.

And from that point on, God has continued to pour out of His Holy Spirit, and He has continued to bring forth the new birth in those who have believed in Christ as their Savior and have washed away their sins in the Blood of Christ; and thus, the new birth has been brought forth in millions of human beings, since the day of Pentecost until now.

And what Christ said to Nicodemus has been becoming a reality, when He said to him: “Verily, verily, I say unto you: Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus thought of a birth through a woman, and Nicodemus was already old. So how old would his mother be, if she was alive? If she was dead, it was impossible for Nicodemus to be born again the way he thought regarding the new birth that Jesus Christ spoke to him about. But Jesus Christ told him it wasn’t as he thought.

Nicodemus thought: “How can these things be?” He asks Christ: “Can a man enter into his mother’s womb and be born again when he is old?” Jesus Christ said to him: “Verily, verily, I say unto you: Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”

In other words, the person needs to believe in Christ as his Savior, wash away his sins in the Blood of Christ, and receive His Holy Spirit, in order to be born again. That is how the new birth takes place in every human being, and that is how he is born in the mystical Body of Christ, in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is how what Christ said to Nicodemus in Saint John chapter 3, verse 1 to 6, is fulfilled.

And now, we can see that although the disciples of Jesus Christ were following Jesus Christ, they were not born again until the day of Pentecost.

And on the day of Pentecost, Jesus Christ began to bring forth the new birth, first in one hundred and twenty people, and since then He has continued with hundreds and thousands of people, and millions of people, who—throughout these two thousand years that have passed—have believed in Christ as their Savior and washed away their sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ; and thus, they have had Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, the Paschal Lamb, and also as the Goat of the Sin Offering for the reconciliation of every person to God, which was carried out among the Hebrew people on the tenth day of the seventh month of each year.⁶

But now there is no need for those sacrifices that the Hebrew people carried out, which were a type and figure of Jesus Christ, who would come to Earth in human flesh and die on Calvary’s Cross as the perfect Sacrifice for sin, for our reconciliation to God. That is why Saint Paul says: “Be reconciled to God today.”⁷

In the present time, while the person is alive, that is when he must be reconciled to God; and for that, he needs the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, represented in the sacrifice of the goat of the sin offering, on the tenth day of the seventh month of each year, among the Hebrew people.

And now, the Hebrew people no longer need animal sacrifices, and no one needs to offer animal sacrifices to God; and even the Hebrew people don’t need the temple, because they no longer need to carry out those sacrifices that they used to carry out before; because God has already provided a perfect Sacrifice: Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who has taken away the sin of the world. And the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.⁸

He is the Paschal Lamb, and He is also the Goat of the Sin Offering to reconcile the people to God and each person as an individual to God.

That is why, since Christ, the Hebrew people got into those problems, where Jerusalem was destroyed, the temple too, and they were taken captive; and then they put the Mosque of Omar in the place where the temple was. But the Hebrew people no longer need a temple: they already have a perfect Sacrifice.

That perfect Sacrifice is for the Gentiles and also for the Hebrews; but since the Hebrew people have rejected It throughout these two thousand years, the sins of the Hebrew people are being seen by God; and the wages of sin is death.⁹

That is why they have been persecuted: Hitler nearly exterminated them; Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, nearly exterminated the Hebrew people.

But because of God’s mercy and the promises that God made regarding the Hebrew people, God didn’t allow the Hebrew people to be uprooted from this Earth. The remnant of Israel has remained, which will receive the Messiah at the Last Day, who will come as King of kings and Lord of lords, as Son of man and Son of David, to sit on the Throne of David, and reign over the Hebrew people and over all nations; and this is for the Last Day, meaning, for the seventh millennium.

We have been in the Last Days since the days of Jesus Christ. That is why Saint Paul tells us: “In these Last Days, God has spoken to us by His Son,” meaning, by Jesus Christ; because the Last Days are three millenniums: the fifth millennium, sixth millennium, and seventh millennium. And when Jesus was four to seven years old, the fifth millennium began, and thus, the Last Days began.

And the ministry of Jesus Christ took place in the fifth millennium, in the first century of the fifth millennium, and the first third of the first century of the fifth millennium.

Therefore, the ministry of Christ was carried out in the Last Days: in the first of the Last Days before God, which are the three last millenniums to human beings. So, on the first of the three last millenniums, which is the fifth millennium, Jesus Christ had His ministry here on Earth.

And then, we find that He died, rose, and ascended to Heaven victorious, and sat at the right hand of God; and after being in Heaven, ten days later, He poured out of His Holy Spirit upon one hundred and twenty people.¹⁰ All of that also happened in the Last Days: in the first of the Last Days, meaning, in the fifth millennium.

And then, the seven stages of the Gentile Church have also taken place in the Last Days; in other words, the different stages of the Gentile Church have fulfilled in the fifth and sixth millennium.

And if we add to the calendar the years it is behind (because the calendar is behind), we are already in the seventh millennium; and if we are in the seventh millennium, which is the last of the Last Days, then we are at the Last Day before God, which is the seventh millennium to human beings.

We are already in the first century of the seventh millennium; in other words, we are in the morning of the seventh millennial Day, we are in the morning of the Last Day before God, which is the seventh millennium to human beings.

That is the Lord’s Day, which would come as a thief in the night; where people wouldn’t realize that the seventh millennium has begun, because they are (what?) at nighttime, spiritually in darkness, and they don’t know what the Last Days are, and they don’t know what the Last Day is.

But now, God’s elect at the Last Day are called and gathered on the morning of that new dispensational Day and that new millennial Day, where a new dispensation opens: the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the seventh dispensation, where Jesus Christ sends His Angel-Messenger to testify these things in all and to all the churches. Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, says the following:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” (Revelation 22, verse 16.)

Who does Jesus Christ send? His Angel-Messenger. For what? To testify these things in the churches.

Jesus Christ, in Revelation chapter 4, verse 1, in the middle of that verse, says with that Voice of Trumpet:

“Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

And the things that will happen after these things that have already happened during these two thousand years that have passed will be revealed to God’s elect, and we will know which are the things that must happen at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium.

Jesus Christ said, regarding the seventh millennium, regarding the Last Day: “And I will raise him up at the Last Day,” in other words, in the seventh millennium, which is the Lord’s Day.

And now, through whom will He be making all these things known to us? Well, He says He will make them known to those who will go up to where He is. From age to age, He has been in His mystical Body of believers, in His Church.

And in which age or stage of the Church of Jesus Christ are we living today? We are living in the Age of the Cornerstone; and in the Age of the Cornerstone, at the Last Day, in other words, in the seventh millennium, Jesus Christ makes known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass. And that is why it says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” (Revelation 22, verse 16.)

And Revelation 22, verse 6, says the following “And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

Through whom are the things which must shortly come to pass made known? Through His Angel-Messenger, because that is the instrument of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day, in the last millennium.

Just like Jesus Christ, during all these past stages, spoke through His apostles and through His seven angel-messengers, at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, He would be speaking through His Angel-Messenger all these things which must shortly come to pass. Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit will be in His Angel-Messenger, speaking all these things to us.

The Angel-Messenger of Jesus Christ at the Last Day is the Prophet of the Dispensation of the Kingdom and of the Age of the Cornerstone, who comes making known all these things to all of God’s sons and daughters. He comes with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet, through which all of God’s elect are called and gathered together.

The Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom calls and gathers all of God’s elect; and the carrier of that Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom is the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now we can see how God’s elect will be called and gathered, and they will be obtaining the knowledge of all these things which must shortly come to pass.

Now, how many of you knew that the Last Days are the fifth, sixth, and seventh millenniums? How many of you knew that the Last Days had begun when Jesus was four to seven years old? We didn’t know before. Everyone thought the Last Days were only these days in which we are living, but notice, they began in the days of Jesus.

Now, when reference is made to the Last Day, that day is exclusively referring to this end time in which we live, because it is the Last Day promised for Christ to come as a thief in the night to the world; but for the elect, it will be daytime, because we are not children of the night, but of the day; we are not children of the kingdom of this world or kingdoms of this world, rather, we are children of the Kingdom of God; and the children of the Kingdom of God are children of the day; they are children of light, and not of darkness.

Therefore, the Lord’s Day and His Coming does not overtake us at night, rather, it takes us in the daytime; it takes us in the fourth watch of the seventh millennium; and the fourth watch of the seventh millennium (in prophetic terms) is the first hundred and twenty-five years of the seventh millennium.

Because a watch is three hours long. And prophetically, with a watch being three hours long, since one day before the Lord is a thousand years to human beings, how long is one hour before God? It’s forty-one years and eight months; and three hours is one hundred and twenty-five years.

The first hundred and twenty-five years of the seventh millennium pertain to the fourth watch of the seventh day before God, which for us is the seventh millennium, the Lord’s Day.

Just like the Sabbath to the Hebrew people has been the Lord’s Day (the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week), now, the seventh day before God is the seventh millennium to human beings, when the dead in Christ will rise in eternal bodies, and we who are alive will be changed; and we will have an eternal body, and we will be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; and we will live for all eternity with our beloved Lord Jesus Christ in an eternal body. And we will reign with Christ a thousand years and then for all eternity as kings and priests, because He has made us unto our God kings and priests, He has redeemed us with His Blood, and He has made us kings and priests;¹¹ and we will reign with Christ in His glorious Millennial Kingdom for a thousand years to begin with, and then for all eternity.

Now we can see all the things that will be happening at the Last Day, in the seventh millennium, where the Dispensation of the Kingdom opens and overlaps with the Dispensation of Grace, and where the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom is proclaimed; because that Message is the Great Voice of Trumpet through which all these mysteries of the Kingdom of God are revealed, and all of God’s elect are called and gathered with the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which revolves around the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work, in the fourth watch of the seventh millennium.

We find that the Gospel of the Kingdom makes known to us the great mystery of the Coming of the Son of man, of the Coming as a thief in the night to the world, but to human beings: on the morning of a new dispensational Day, to see Him face to face manifested at the Last Day as He has promised, with His face as the sun.

His face as the sun—seen there on Mount Transfiguration and in the Book of Revelation—represents Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords, because the sun is the king of the stars. And when reference is made to the Lion of the tribe of Judah, that is also referring to the Second Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords, because the lion is the king of the animals. These two types and figures represent Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.

That is why when Christ was transfigured before His disciples on Mount Transfiguration, His face shone as the sun: because His Second Coming at the Last Day will be as King of kings and Lord of lords; that is His face shining as the sun.

And now we can see the mystery of His Coming: as a thief in the night to the world, but to us as King of kings and Lord of lords, and the Sun of Righteousness shining on a new dispensational Day and on a new millennial Day: at the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium

Now, we have seen: “THE MYSTERY OF HIS COMING AS A THIEF.”

We are living in the most glorious time of all times, in the time of His Coming, in the time in which the Coming of Christ would be revealed, manifested to the world as a thief in the night, but to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Sun shining on the morning of a new dispensational Day; “For unto you that fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness rise with healing in His Wings.”

When does the sun rise? It rises in the morning. The sun always rises on the morning of a new day.

And on the morning of a new dispensational Day and of a new millennial Day, the Second Coming of Christ is promised to come as the Sun of Righteousness shining in the seventh millennium.

Now, we have reached the most glorious time of all times; the time in which the world is living at nighttime and in darkness, in spiritual darkness, in darkness in terms of the knowledge of all these promises related to the Second Coming of Christ.

And the world, mankind, doesn’t even know what the Last Days are. But Saint Paul tells us: “But you are not in darkness, that that day,” (meaning, the Lord’s Day, which will come as a thief in the night to the world)… “You are not in darkness, that that day,” (meaning, the seventh millennium), “should overtake you as a thief in the night,” but instead how? As the Sun of Righteousness in the morning, rising on the morning of a new dispensational Day and a new millennial Day.

We have reached the morning time of a new millennial Day and a new dispensational Day; but the world is in darkness and spiritual darkness.

But we, Saint Paul says, “We are not in darkness but in light, because we are children (of what?) of the day; not of the night.” And if we are children of the day, then the Coming of the Son of man, the Coming of the Lord with His Angels, doesn’t overtake us as a thief in the night, but rather, for us: as the King of kings and Lord of lords, and the Sun of Righteousness shining in our hearts; with us welcoming Jesus Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, in His Coming, on a new dispensational Day and a new millennial Day.

We have reached the most glorious time of all times, we have reached the Lord’s Day, the day that would take mankind by surprise: the Lord’s Day, the seventh millennium.

We have reached the time in which all the children of God would be hearing the Great Voice of Trumpet, which is the Voice of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit through His Angel-Messenger, making known to us all these things which must shortly come to pass, and thus, revealing to us the mystery of His Coming at this Last Day.

It has been a great privilege to be with you this evening, testifying to you about “THE MYSTERY OF HIS COMING AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.”

May the blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon each one of you and also upon me. And may He completely open our understanding so that we can understand these mysteries of the Kingdom of God, which Jesus Christ spoke of and so did all the prophets and all the apostles and messengers pertaining to this Last Day; and may He allow us to understand these mysteries of the Last Day, and the greatest mystery of all, which is His Coming, the Coming of the Son of man at this Last Day, in the seventh millennium; as a thief in the night to the world, but as the Sun of Righteousness to all of God’s sons and daughters. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

And soon may we all be changed and taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven. In the Eternal Name of Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, kind friends and brethren present. And I will leave Rev. Gian del Corto with you to continue.

Have a good evening, everyone.

“THE MYSTERY OF HIS COMING AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.”
